I’m working on my first project using Perchance to create an RPG character generator. I want to add a feature where, if a generated character’s race has subraces, there’s a chance for a subrace to be generated as well.
For example, if the race “Elf” is generated, I want there to be a chance that it specifies “High Elf,” “Wood Elf,” or “Dark Elf” as a subrace. How can I implement this functionality in Perchance?
I know this has been answered, but I’d do this a different way, using inline lists:
Races {Wood|High|Dark|} Elf{Wood|High|Dark|}gives you one of the options at random. So either Wood or High or Dark or nothing.You can add probabilities too, with
^#where # is some number you want to weight it by compared to the others.{Wood|High^0.5|Dark|^5}Now “High” will be added half as much as “Wood” or “Dark”. But “” (nothing) will be used 5 times more than “Wood” or “Dark”. (The others mentioned this, but that’s how it looks in an inline list.)
